Kujo your are mostly right. Now they won't justify publicly but main reason is for money's sake.
I posted a thread with this 3 days before this Dust keynote and hit it spot on.
On a business perspective it is unwise to pour resources into a game that they were seeing little return from since our player base was so low.
The NPE for this game is complete garbage and was non-salvageable for the resources CCP has.
No reason to spend alot of money for the sake of ~1000 consistent aurum buyers.
Only way to fix the NPE easily......is a fresh start. They've learned from their dust 514 project.
Even it they do find a way to transfer characters, whats going to happen? The NPE is going to be crushed again and their marketing strategy for Legion will fail.
From previous post 3 days ago:
"I could see from a marketing standpoint that it (Legion) will be stand alone from Dust, meaning a fresh start from scratch.
Dust 514 I feel was an experiment to hype the EVE universe which is their main source of income.
In turn, did not turn up the best way possible and had only like a 1% retention of players whom created accounts.
Most FPS vets don't want to come in at a HUGE disadvantage (SP) when their normal routine for a FPS is to excel from the start.
So in the effort of having much greater population:
Would you play and level a merc ALL OVER AGIAN if by then the game was worked on and made better?" |

Its not the starting over part, its the not trusting CCP to not screw you over again and again. The ONLY way I would even log on to legion is if we got monetary credit for all AUR/Boosters/Packs spent on Dust in hopes of progressing towards something big.
I wholeheartedly agree, but from a legal perspective, CCP owes you nothing as long as they say they are supporting Dust 514 on PS3.
I do hope they compensate old dust players, who continue on to Legion, somehow. |
